General description There are 4.5 million people residing in Izmir, which is the third most populous city in Turkey. Nicknamed the "Pearl of the Aegean Sea", Izmir is a popular destination for both Turkish and international travellers. Located on the Aegean coast of Turkey, the town is renowned for its historical heritage, beaches and holiday resorts. Every year, more than a million foreign visitors enjoy its attractions. Izmir also plays an important role in the Turkish economy, with one of the country's largest ports, contributing 6.1% of the national GDP thanks to significant trade volumes. To keep pace with the growth in air traffic, TAV Airports has built new international and domestic terminals at Izmir Airport (ADB), the main air gateway to the Aegean region. This airport serves several nearby tourist destinations, such as Çeşme, Selçuk and Kuşadası.

The city of Izmir and its surroundings particularly attract Turkish, German, Turkish Cypriot, British, Iranian and Dutch visitors.

Izmir Airport’s (ADB) International Terminal was built in 2006 and has the capacity to handle 5 million passengers per year. The international terminal is equipped with the latest technology of aviation systems, all contributing to the efficiency, security and speed of operations.

The terminal offers a unique experience to passengers, both functionally and aesthetically, with clean and contemporary lines, indoor gardens and swimming pools and spacious internal areas. Passengers can see parked planes, the apron and departing planes, even from the check-in lounge. With a vaulted roof of 29 metres, the terminal was designed to have an appearance consistent with the international terminal.
